The histopathological changes observed in the cutaneous rash of three patients who suffered the acute phase of HIV infection are described. In all three patients a perivascular and interstitial inflammatory infiltrate was present in the upper and mid-reticular dermis. In one biopsy isolated areas of epidermal necrosis were observed and in the two other biopsies a perifollicular inflammatory infiltrate was detected with perforation in one case. Furthermore, a periductal infiltrate was observed in one of these biopsies.
